Jimmy Kimmel calls out Foxs reaction to a joke from him versus one from Trump
Jimmy Kimmel has responded to Fox News' reaction to a recent "joke" from the president, versus their reaction to a joke he made earlier in the year.
Trump recently made a comment about LA and San Francisco that sparked backlash followed by a swift defence from the White House and Fox News, all of which has Jimmy Kimmel questioning the network's reaction to what it classifies as a "joke".
"It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe," Trump said about the Iran conflict during a rally. "They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego."
The White House defended the statement, and Fox News called it a "joke" — but in the clip above, Jimmy Kimmel plays a montage of Fox attacking him for a joke he made earlier this year about the Melania, which Fox referred to as "dark" and "completely deranged".
"So if that rhetoric was deranged and dangerous and violent and dark, surely you must be mortified by the president of the United States casually ruminating about the deaths of 13 million people?" Kimmel asks, before playing another Fox News montage ending with an anchor asking "Why can't the left take a joke?"
"That's right. You know what? I'm going to report him to the FCC," says Kimmel. "The hypocrisy is so glaring you can't even turn your head towards it."
